I really can't understand our fan base's obsession with this kid? He's never played a snap in college and yet some of you are trying to anoint him. I don't get it. He wasn't highly recruited out of high school and truthfully the only reason he got an offer from LSU was because Franks flaked out. And yet, we have Brennan coming in and the kid is highly recruited and by all accounts, has one of the highest ceilings of any recruit that LSU has had come in that i can remember since Periloux. I don't get it. Why the love fest with Scott?

Try researching Scott's abilities and numbers versus Brennan's. Most agree that if Scott was 6' 3", he would have been much higher rated. At any rate he was 3 star as was Brennan. You can't have seen his video and numbers and still ask that question.

I also see some try to downplay McMillan for some reason (some based on pregame warm ups). His numbers and success in high school says he has talent and should not be overlooked.

I guess it is that QB seems to be the one position at LSU where fans seem to have a preset position on who or what type QB should play. Very few seem to be of the position may the best man win. I would hope the new OC comes in with, unlike many fans, no preconceived notion of who should be the starting QB. It should be an open and fair competition with all hands on deck, including Harris if he doesn't transfer. May the best man win regardless of seniority. And O should leave that decision in the hands of the new OC. Chances are he will make the best choice unfettered by politics or fans favorites.

Your question is rather funny when you question Scott but promote Brennan ignoring the same parameters you set for Scott.

OP says this...

Then follows up with this about a kid that hasn't played or practiced a second of college football
